Contact your Senators today and tell them to VOTE NO on the Waxman-Markey Energy Tax.

**UPDATE** Senator Graham Co-Authored an Op-Ed In the New York Times with Senator Kerry this weekend in support of the Boxer-Kerry Energy Tax. Sentor Graham supports the National Evergy Tax as well asprotectionism, “ we should consider a border tax on items produced in countries that avoid these standards,” and price controls, “The central element is the establishment of a floor and a ceiling for the cost of emission allowances.”
 
Contact Senator Graham and urge him to rethink his disasterous policies.
